As-Agua

Tchiga mês di Junho djentsbasade dent d'horta
Ta koba kóba midju pa simia dipôs
Kês kê más lascadu o'ki kaba koba
Ta fica dentru d'horta pa simia impó

Mininus di escola dja volta di féria
Ês ka sta bem discansa ês tem ki bá trabadja

Simiadu em pó ês tem ki bá horta
Tadja galinha mátu pa ka kumé midju

Tchiga mês di Agosto tchuba bem tchobê
Djents torna volta horta pa fazê simentera
Dipôs di simentera midjo bem nascê
Mininus dentu d'horta ta tadja pardal

Começado monda djents tud'animade
Ta spera um coba d'águ pa As-Água da
Sol kenti sta tchêu céu sta raganhádu
Planta sta seca tchuba fica ka bem

Lamentu guentis grandi
Ta spera um coba d'agu

As-Water

June is the month when lads go to the garden
To eat the young corn before the monkeys get there
Those who are late find nothing left
Having been beaten to it by the monkeys

School children are back from the holidays
Their vacation is over, they must go to work

They must go to the garden to chase the monkeys away
To protect the chickens from eating the corn

In August, the rains come heavily
People return to their gardens to plant
After the planting, the corn sprouts
Children in the gardens chase away the sparrows

The weeding begins, everyone is excited
Waiting for a drop of water for the As-Água dance
The sun is hot, the sky is cloudy
The plants are withering, rain has not come

Great is the lamentation of the people
Waiting for a drop of water
